Chapter 424: Cao Ren is defeated and retreats
Cao Ren stood on the high main city wall and smoked angrily. Vertex updates are the fastest
Well, if a person is angry, and the Seven Orifices can really smoke, then the smoke coming out of Cao Ren's whole body at this time may be bigger than the black smoke coming out of the explosion of the city wall just now!
As soon as he saw the enemy attacking, he hurriedly commanded the army to launch catapults, but before he had finished firing a single round, he heard a rumbling sound everywhere, and saw that the city wall had collapsed several times, and that some catapults had overturned.
He didn't understand it for a while, how could it be so coincidental, but there was an earthquake at this time?
Could it be that Liu Bei really knows how to cast demon spells? In addition to summoning strange birds, it can also cause earthquakes?
No way! If there is really a demon law, then why do you need people to chop around with knives and guns to start a war?
Seeing that the enemy was running fast and was about to step on the collapsed city wall in the blink of an eye, he didn't have time to think about it, and quickly ordered the sergeant to load the stones: "Fire!" Launch! ”
The sergeants hurriedly turned the catapult around, but there were also its own defenders nearby, and the catapult was not that accurate, so what if they didn't hit the enemy and drove their own people away?
Cao Ren hurriedly said: "What are you turning around?" A direct hit to the rear of the enemy will do! If we can cut off the enemy's follow-up forces, then these people who rushed over will be eaten by the large number of troops in our city! ”
Then, sure enough, he saw that some of the men and horses had also been killed at the gap in the wall, but, as if, it was not the defenders of his own city, but the enemy!
Well? It can't be dazzling, right? Cao Ren hurriedly rubbed his eyes and looked at it carefully.
You know, his eyesight is really not bad!
That's right, it's true, it's the enemy who climbs the walls from the inside!
Oh my God, where did these guys come from, did they also fall from the sky?
Oh no, it must have come out of the ground, didn't you already hear the enemy digging tunnels? Did you deliberately let Man Chong and Chen Jiao lead people to defense?
Full of pets, full of pets, how did you do it, how did you let the enemy rush out of the tunnel? Can't you plug a few holes?
Cao Ren realized that the battlefield had changed too quickly, and he had only been staring at the front before, and had forgotten to look at the back.
This didn't matter, and he was scared into a cold sweat.
He saw that the enemy was constantly emerging from the tunnels, rushing towards the city walls, rushing into the city, and his own defense men and horses could not see a few people!
Oh my God, what's going on, it's all like this behind me, I don't even feel it at all, even if I don't look back, I can hear some movement, right?
Could it be that the earthquake was so loud just now, or that the enemy was screaming so wildly when they charged that it deafened my ears?
"Da Sima, we are surrounded!" The guards around him found that the situation was too critical, and their voices were a little out of tune.
Cao Ren could see that the enemies who poured out of the ground, as well as those who climbed the city wall from outside the city, were not only attacking the city, but also many were attacking the high wall where he was.
"Don't panic! We still have a large group of men and horses in the city, so let them hurry over and meet them and drive the enemy out! Cao Ren grabbed the banner and shook it vigorously from side to side.
He didn't care about how the enemy outside the city charged, and just wanted the prepared men and horses in the city to rush over to fight.
"Da Sima, hurry down, otherwise, there are so few defenders below, we will go down late, I'm afraid that even the war horse will be snatched away by the enemy!" The guards felt that summoning reinforcements was not very reliable at this time.
What the guards said is true, but if even I withdraw from here, and the defenders lose their command, wouldn't they really declare that Xuchang City was broken?
That's too fast, right? It's just a blink of an eye!
"Hell yes!" Cao Ren is not a person who can't see the situation clearly, so he hesitated for a moment, but quickly led people to retreat.
Now I found out that in order to throw rocks far away from the enemy, building this wall so high is actually in the way!
How much effort does it take to go down the stairs from such a height?
What's even worse is that the enemy didn't come to compare stones with me at all, and the siege method in Wancheng is completely different!
When a group of people ran down the city wall, those cronies who had been holding on to the bottom were almost exhausted, and they couldn't hold on anymore.
The enemy had already rushed to the front and shouted vigorously: "Capture Cao Ren alive, capture Cao Ren alive!" ”
"It's not that easy!" Cao Ren gritted his teeth and fought back viciously.
Once close to the melee, his ruthlessness came up, and at that moment, he and Niu Jin and the others turned over and slashed with their knives.
However, today's Ji Han sergeants were high-spirited, and they were extremely excited, beating and rushing.
Because they believe in their own help!
Didn't His Majesty the Emperor of Han summon the divine bird Vermilion Bird to help? Then with the help of God, can't we Ji Han soldiers capture Cao Ren alive?
"Cao Ren, Hugh wants to escape!" A Han general with a spear in his hand rushed over from a distance, it was Zhao Yun.
Capture the thief and capture the king, knowing that Cao Ren is a ruthless person, Zhao Yun is coming at him.
"Cao Ren stabbed me!" Ma Dai also swung his knife and rushed this way.
The elder brother is not there, and he wants to avenge Ma Jiajun.
"Cao Ren, wait for me!" Chen Shi had just come out of the tunnel, and he came over with a machete with a smile on his face.
It's a great credit to hold Cao Ren!
"Let's go!" Niu Jin hurriedly persuaded Cao Ren.
Although Cao Ren is ruthless, he is not a flute, he fights the horse and rushes straight away, and he quickly wants to kill a bloody road, and he will never wait for death here.
It's just that the enemies are surging more and more, and where can they rush out.
"Cao Zixiao, don't panic, I'm here!" Fortunately, at this time, a group of elite Wei cavalry rushed over from the chaotic army, and the leading general was full of favorites.
It turned out that he saw that the defenders at the tunnel entrance were scared away, so he quickly turned around and went back, and urgently mobilized a group of elite soldiers who had not seen ghosts with their own eyes, and came back to rescue Cao Ren with all his life.
Cao Ren hurriedly approached them with Niu Jin and the others.
It's still full of favors and reliable, and I will never give up on Cao Ren!
I was wrong about him just now, thinking that he was only trying to escape for his own life.
The two joined forces, did not dare to fight, and hurriedly evacuated.
Cao Ren asked Manzhong while withdrawing: "Hell, I've seen it!" Why are you so here? Where did all those people die? I waved the flag desperately in the city, but I didn't see any response? ”
It's not like hell! Man Zhong was very frustrated: "Those guys are all frightened by the enemy's pretending to be ghosts!" ”
Before Cao Ren could ask in detail, a shout sounded in his ears again: "Dad! What's going on? ”
With the words, more than a dozen horsemen and horses came out of an alley, and it turned out to be Cao Tai.
Seeing that his son was safe and sound, Cao Ren was a little relieved, but he was also anxious to ask: "Why are you here, you say that the enemy is pretending to be a ghost, didn't you take someone to catch the strange bird that fell from the sky?" What about birds? I'll see what the hell they've got! ”
It's okay not to mention it, but as soon as he said it, Cao Tai was so anxious that he was about to cry: "Dad! It's not that I don't want to catch birds. I'm not afraid of that birdman, but those soldiers are all scared by that birdman. They, they won't let me catch them. ”
"Huh?" Cao Ren couldn't figure it out, "What does that bird look like?" Why are all our soldiers frightened? ”
Cao Tai panted and replied, "Dad! The bird fell from the sky, and instead of falling to its death, it landed on a large tree. He is dressed in red hair and can speak human language. It's not terrible to say human words, I was going to shoot it with an arrow. However, as soon as it said knock knock, the sky literally knocked the iron ball down, and almost crushed me to death. Then, it said boom, boom, and before the words could be spoken, I heard a boom on the side of the city wall. ”
What a mess! Cao Ren didn't bother to listen: "Then you will shoot it." God comes to kill God, ghosts come to kill ghosts, what do you care? ”
Cao Tai was helpless: "Dad! I'm not afraid, but those soldiers are afraid. I missed an arrow, and was about to shoot it again, but the soldiers thought that the birdman was spiritual, and they believed that it was a divine bird. They all took up their weapons, and said that if I dare to offend the gods, they will put me to death. ”
It's over, it's over!
Fear of fear, rebellion of rebellion, is there no man in this city that can be used to defend and counterattack? Cao Ren looked at Man Pet unwillingly.
Although when Guan Yu flooded Fancheng before, Man Chong also persuaded Cao Ren to stick to it, but this time it was different, he only gave Cao Ren a one-word answer: "Run!" ”
You don't want to think about it, if the defenders in the city still have the fighting spirit, can I only bring such a few men to save you?
